Product Details

Engineered from the ground up with astroimaging in mind, the new Advanced VX series from Celestron sets a new standard in mid-level telescopes.

Advanced VX provides you with many of the features found on Celestron’s most sophisticated German equatorial mounts, at an extremely affordable price. The new Advanced VX mount was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. Now your smaller telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. You’ll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky.

Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than our previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease. Experienced imagers will love taking this portable mount to a dark sky site, with all the performance of their larger observatory mount. Or, if you’re new to imaging, this mount will help you get started with the hobby and keep up with your needs for years to come.

A great upgrade

This is a good solid entry level mount in my opinion. Stable, and easy to align and allows me to take the long exposure shots i wanted to take that the factory mount would not let me do.

Unfortunately my first mount had issues with alignment. As in no matter what I did it wouldn't perform accurate goto's despite having the mount aligned and 4 calibration stars added. Objects were nowhere near center.

Luckily Celestron has some of the best customer service i've ever experienced. I'm already a huge fan of their products, but experiences like that will keep me a customer for life.

Great ASGT Replacement

Pros: Strong Construction,Accurate,Easy to Use

Comment: Replaced malfunctioning ASGT with this mount and very happy with Celestron's changes. Power switch, Dec cable ports, alt/az polar alignment screws are all significantly improved. Result is a great go-to mount that is good value for amateur astronomer and beginner/intermediate astrophotography. I use with Celestron C8.

I would by this mount again

Pros: Strong Construction,Easy to Use,Accurate

Comment: Get the AC power cord to power mount. Only had the mount for a couple months used two or three times so I haven't completely tested everything out. It's a very good looking mount, sets up pretty quick, aligned and tracked well only visual so far. That's why I only give it 4 stars. hope this helps

Nice Mount

Pros: Easy to Use,Accurate,Strong Construction

Comment: I bought this mount to use with my Celestron C5 for astrophotography. When it came in I did not anticipate how large it would be. The C5 looks tiny compared to the mount but that also means it is rock solid. I bought the SkySync GPS accessory to make setup faster.

Q: Does the payload capacity of 30 pounds account for the 11 pound counterweight? If I have a 10 pound tube am I already at 21 pounds total? Thanks

A: Yes - you are correct. The 30 pound capacity is including the weight of the counterweight that comes with the mount.
